Deluxe CD/DVD set with 19 new songs plus videos.

Review

Every K-5 classroom should invest in the music and DVD video of TMBG's Here Comes Science. The toe-tapping sequence of science topics presented in sight and sound has something for every grade level in the areas of physical, earth, and life sciences.

The scientific process is made clear in the kick-off song, Science is Real. Songs with influences from every decade of rock and roll will help students make meaning of tricky scientific topics such as circulation, photosynthesis, speed and velocity, and states of matter.

Additionally, the music and video help to dispel common scientific myths, as well as inspires the use of scientific inquiry at every level. Using real-world connections students can relate to, a stimulating soundtrack that educates, and eye-popping graphics that punch the point make Here Comes Science a great teaching tool.

Teachers can use the songs and video to begin a unit of study, assess prior knowledge of a topic to help plan instruction, differentiate instruction, stimulate further discussion of a topic, expose students to new concepts, and develop science vocabulary and comprehension. -- Susan Lee Poage, Kindergarten Teacher Professor of Early Childhood Education Winner of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching Science and Mathematics

Great Songs For Your Kiddos Or Your Classroom

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2024

Verified Purchase

My son grew up with these songs and now I share them with my classroom. Yes, you can find them online to show the video, but then you have all the commercials that pop up and it's a hassle. I prefer the CD so I can just pop it in and go straight to what I need. Yes, I am over 30, and still own mu;ltiple CD players. Great educational songs that entertain. Also enjoyable for adults!

One of the best CDs of the year, in any genre.

There's been a lot of discussion and not a little hand-wringing lately about "communicating science," with books with titles like "Unscientific America" and "Don't be SUCH a Scientist" recommending ways to make science more appealing and attractive to non-scientist citizens. And then along comes They Might Be Giants with THE answer: a shovelful of masterful pop artistry helps the medicine go down.

Did I say "medicine"? That's not fair because it makes the science on this CD sound like something good for you, but bitter and hard to swallow. On the contrary, TMBG demonstrates just how fun knowing stuff can be, with wonderful wordplay, irresistible fun facts, and marvelous imagery. Even as a collection of poems this work would be outstanding.

But the lyrics are wed to some of the best music I've heard in some time. U2s latest CD disappointed me considerably, Green Day's latest was good but not great, and the novelty of Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend has largely worn off by now. But the fresh sounds and infectious hooks on "Here Comes Science" are something special. I'll play this one a lot. Oh...and my kids are both in college. This is a great kids' CD, of course, but it's for all ages, thanks to quirky and accomplished musicianship.

While there are a variety of sounds on "Here Comes," many of the songs reminded me a great deal of the old "School House Rock" collection. And far from damning with faint praise, I mean that as the highest compliment...the songs from "School House Rock" were invariably interesting, skilled, and memorable.

Perhaps my favorite feature from the CD is the fact that it follows one crucial element within the scientific method: correction with better information. Song 9 is "Why Does the Sun Shine?" It's a great song, but features some lyrics describing the sun as being a mass of gas. And then in song 10, "Why Does the Sun Really Shine?" that "earlier information" is corrected--the sun is actually plasma, a fourth state of matter. We are urged to forget the misinformation in the previous song. EXACTLY! That is how science itself progresses, one "song" at a time! And to make that implicit point completely clear, song 12, "Put It to the Test," explains the experimental method for improving our knowledge.

If you have kids of any age, this unbelievably fun introduction to science is essential. And if you don't have kids but can still access a childlike sense of jumping-on-the-bed whimsy and wonder...this unbelievably fun introduction to science is essential.

This review has been a long time coming considering I placed a pre-order for the CD/DVD package through Amazon. I was looking forward to it as a win-win situation: I get to hear a new album by a band I like and my daughter might latch on to it as well. Going on a quest to find tolerable children's music can be fun or arduous, depending on how you go about it. They Might Be Giants make it pretty fun.

It should be obvious from the onset that "Here Comes Science," an album about (duh) science, caters to an older bracket of kids than previous children's albums by They Might Be Giants. Consequently, my (as of this writing) 21-month-old daughter is too young to absorb any educational qualities this album has. But that hasn't stopped her from dancing to it, enjoying the videos, and pronouncing from the backseat of our car, "I like this song!"

There isn't a single song that fails to be catchy in some way. Just as John & John have been mining the Beatles and XTC for many years, they use their melodic gifts to drive home musical points. In all honesty, I now think of the song "How Many Planets?" whenever I'm trying to remember the order of our solar system, despite the fact there's no real verse or chorus. And I know more about elements, cells, and the circulatory system than I did before. I hated science in school. Then again, I pretty much hated school altogether. Having songs like "Why Does the Sun Shine?" or "Why Does the Sun Really Shine?" stuck in my head as a pre-teen certainly wouldn't have been a detriment to my education.

The DVD that comes with the album is pretty impressive. My wife popped it in the player one night to show our daughter. After doing some chores, I returned to the room where she told me "hey, the animation on these are pretty professional." Indeed, they are all seamless, each song tackled by a different artist (with the exception of one or two). So far the little one's favorite is "Electric Car" since it features so many animals. "Computer Assisted Design" didn't seem like an easy song to illustrate through animation, but the end result is entertaining.

Although it is too early to tell with my child and a little too late to tell with me, I have confidence in the educational value of "Here Comes Science." On the surface it seems so much more enlightening than their two previous children's albums ("...ABCs" and "...123s," respectively), but no less catchy. We will be catching one of their family shows in about two weeks, here's to hoping they play "Electric Car."

This is probably one of my favourite CDs of all time- I bought this for a friend when she had a child. It's accurate information, except for the song with Pluto as a planet, but then... Pluto will never be forgotten.

todo el disco, sus canciones y sus vídeos son sencillamente geniales, como casi todo lo que hacen They Might Be Giants. La pena es que los vídeos no tengas la posibilidad de subtitularse. En un trabajo de Disney, y además denominado educacional creo que debería subtitularse para facilitar el aprendizaje a niños (y adultos) de todo el mundo. Quitando ese detalle, un producto genial.
